Kween Niknik....yer Royal Heinous!....I just adore your AV!!! :D

Don't want to talk about clothing sizes. Except that when they were made here, the sizes were more reliable. Now that they are made everywhere else....it's all a crapshoot! When I was wearing size 4 all I could find was clothing that looked like they should hve been thrown out before they got that bad! I hate clothes shopping (and having to try everything on), and at that point it reeeeeeally sucked! <_< Even shoes are not sized the same.

Your Royal Hanus!! You were an ADORABLE child .. . ....mygawd, a true Walmart photo frame model like I've never seen elsewhere!!

Crap, was I the only hideous baby 'round here??

Must search for a toddler pic... . ....at some point I am certain I grew out of hideousness, as I have not been totally unsightly for some time, now.

But when did it happen?. ....At age four? Eight? Think I remember looking somewhat normal in kindergarten, so I will see if that's when photographs started being taken of me. . . . ..

:lol:

Hey! Jack just shared something with me, and it is somehow SO pertinent to us all, here.....I can just feel it.....

Gorillas purr.

:huh::huh:

:rolleyes:

Great trivia.......but what does it mean??

It could mean that you should probably get a gorilla to comfort you when migraine-stricken, Nik.. ..... . .imagine the vibration when one o' them starts purring?

And he had me. . . ..........

Changed my av . . . the best I can do. I'm headed home in a couple of weeks. I know there was a pic of me when I was two and there was a pic of me in kindergarten. I'll see if my mom knows where either of those are.

How sad is that . . . I know of two pictures in existence of me under the age of 5.

Em . . . Oh yeah, I would have fallen for that line, too . . . :lol:

Ein bischen.............sehr bischen :P

Ever notice how the more expensive the clothing is, the smaller the sizes are? I can fit into a $100.00 size four pair of DKNY jeans (ridiculous), but can't even get a Walmart no-name pair o' size fours above me knees. . . ... <_<

Can't say that I've ever tried on a pair of $100 jeans :huh:

I have! I have!! I found a pair of Donna Karan's at Value Village.....looked like they'd never been worn.....$7.99. So of course I bought 'em. Size 5, which is just crazy - - I am a 10. The cashier told me that they go for a hundred bucks, so quite a find. And on rare occasion, I get to be a size five! :rolleyes:B)

Just luuuurve The Village.......

I did find a pair of Seven jeans at a garage sale once.....have no idea what they sell for, though.

I have a pair of $100 jeans B)

Of course, I didn't pay nearly full price fer them.....they're the infamous Not Your Daughter's Jeans that are supposed to make someone at me advanced age look good in jeans. I have to say they do a pretty good job. They look like they're very fitted, but are really comfortable and soft :rolleyes: They do good things fer me giant arse...can't ask much more of a jean than that...... :P

A large department store (Boscov's) was closing several of their stores last year, and I got them on a good clearance. Had to get me regular size, though..... <_<

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
